Great Train Race

A highlight of the Hunter Valley Steamfest program is undoubtedly the Great Train Race featuring steam engines running parallel together whilst racing a Tiger Moth aeroplane.

Your journey will start in Maitland for the relaxed trip into the starting line before you race against the Tiger Moth back to Maitland.

Who will be crowned the winner in 2019?

Great Train Race is a steam push/pull journey.

As you depart Maitland heading east, the steam locomotive will push from the rear, assisted by a Diesel heritage engine at the front.

As you approach the start line the Steam engine will then pull from the front as you race towards Maitland.

Due to the Heritage Nature of the locomotives, prams and wheelchairs are unable to be take on the train. A wheelchair and pram enclosure will be situated next to the ticketing tent. Patrons are able to utilise this facility for free over the Steamfest weekend.
